Parkland activists also don’t seem happy with the idea of random security searches, which was brought up Wednesday night. Ryan Deitsch, MSD student and content creator for the March For Our Lives, argued that the searches further victimize students.

The Broward County School Board tonight stated on record at a public forum to say that the security checks on students at my school are “randomized.” They incited that some are not checked.

Wait a sec … what was that about feeding into people’s biases after a tragedy? We’ll admit that if we were students, we’d hate random security searches and clear backpacks too, but as law-abiding gun owners and NRA members we’re still not feeling the whole push to ban AR-15s and possibly all semiautomatics. It’s not good to misrepresent certain groups, like lawful gun owners, and treat them like criminals.

Speaking of that school-to-prison pipeline, maybe it needs to be widened:

Broward schools administrator Mickey Pope says at #safetyforum 269 students expelled last year for issues such as drugs, weapons, theft, threats & battery. Most involve police. Most students return to an alternative, more confined school setting.
